Is Teen Insider really run by teens?

Yes, and all articles are written by teens as well.

How did you come up with the idea for teen insider?

Freshman year (in high school), Nina wanted to create a website with resources for girls in STEM (scholarship information, internship opportunities, etc.) and Alexis wanted to start an entertainment-focused online magazine.
